At a press briefing to launch the Government's new wellbeing initiative #InThisTogether, he was asked about people becoming more relaxed about the measures currently in place until 5 May.
"I don't want to be seen as waving a big stick but common sense should prevail. It is a real worry that people are becoming more lax." The number of confirmed cases being detected in the community is just under 500 per day, but trending downwards. An Emeritus Professor of Public Health and Epidemiology at the Royal College of Surgeons has said that we can only ease the measures imposed to curb the spread of Covid-19 if people take responsibility for how they engage in more relaxed behaviour.
"We have to double down on distancing measures and that will be difficult, because some people will think we're going back to normal. We're not."He said that while treatment of the virus will certainly play a role, we are in this for "the long haul". Yesterday, the Department of Health was notified of a further 28 deaths of people who had been diagnosed with Covid-19. Three deaths that had previously been reported are no longer classified as related to Covid-19.
There are people dying and more people will die if this lockdown isn’t taken seriously.
Stay social distancing unless your heading off to pick strawberries for my buddy Mr Keeling .. Then you can do whatever you want
Who is NPHET How can an unelected committee make such sweeping decisions disguised as recommendations , are there any citizens representatives or patients groups representatives or business community representatives on it ?
Naive Catholic Ireland! Be good boys & girls while many more die than should thanks to Holohan, Harris, Senior HSE, Leo Thatchar, ignored by biased inhuman media. The only Complacency is with the above if they think the people will accept what is going on! Our Irish dead RIP
Finally the people of Ireland are waking up. ITS ALL A HOAX!!
Does the caretaker government actually have a mandate to lock everyone down without regard to wider cognicence of the health and social impact on society and does the caretaker Taoiseach Mr Varadker have a mandate to threaten the people of Ireland with further lockdown measures
Meanwhile heading to airport near you
